ACTS 1:8 and ACTS 10

The legacy of the Acts Church - a universal vision

'...you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth' (Acts 1:8)

IN Acts 10, we have the record of how God confronted the apostle Peter about an aspect of the vision of the Acts Church that was clearly wrong and how God wanted to put it right as quickly as possible. Jesus had given them their vision statement: '. ..you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth' (Acts 1:8).

But the ears of the disciples, culturally attuned to how God had always revealed himself as 'the God of Israel', interpreted this as 'you will be my witnesses to Jews in Jerusalem, and Jews in all Judea and Samaria, and Jews to the ends of the earth'. Now, as Peter goes up to pray on the roof of his friend Simon the tanner in the seaside town of Joppa, God challenges these assumptions to the core.

In a dream, Peter sees a large sheet being let down from Heaven with all kinds of animals on it. Then a voice says to him, 'Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.' And Peter replies, 'Surely not, Lord! I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.' But the voice persists and eventually the sheet is taken back to Heaven (Acts 10:9-16).

The animals on the sheet represented the food of the Gentiles and, later in the chapter, Peter confesses that he 'should not call anyone impure or unclean' (v 28). By then, he is beginning to embrace the revelation that the good news of Jesus was meant for 'all' people and 'all' ethnicities, not only people who were Jewish.

Our understanding today of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the availability of the Holy Spirit being for people from all backgrounds is a powerful legacy of the Acts Church. It is a legacy we should not take for granted but deeply value, and live into it every day of our lives. The vision God gives us to be witnesses to 'all' people is a foundational principle of the Kingdom of God.

FOR REFLECTION

How does your vision for mission, and the vision of your faith community, stack up against the vision of God for your mission? Is it far-reaching and embracing of all, or confined to the comfort zones that may have taken root over time? We need to pray for the Holy Spirit's help to break through our assumptions and let the Spirit lead us and our mission of being 'witnesses to the ends of the earth'.

 THEME: POWER OF A MENTOR

Every destiny God raises in scripture had one thing in common — a mentor with a mantle.

Moses had Joshua.

Elijah had Elisha.

Paul had Timothy.

Jesus shaped the apostles.

A mentor is not just a teacher; they are a destiny gate-opener, a path corrector, and a grace transmitter. Your next level is hidden in the instructions, wisdom, and impartation of a mentor sent by God.

This Sunday, under the leadership of Apostle A. Lee, we are honored to sit under two powerful vessels:

🇺🇸 Apostle Gregory (USA) — a father of revelation and transformation

🇿🇼 Bishop Mackenzie (Zimbabwe) — a vessel of order, spiritual wisdom, and fatherhood grace

Get ready for:

🔥 Impartation

🔥 Mentorship alignment

🔥 Prophetic direction

🔥 Apostolic instruction

Your destiny is too big to walk alone. Come and be positioned for your next dimension.

GOD'S PRESENCE IN THE FIRE 

When faced with life's fiery trials, remember Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They trusted God's promise, "Fear not, for I am with you," and walked into the furnace with confidence. The fire didn't harm them; instead, they walked through it with God. His presence is our protection and deliverance. When pushed to the edge, focus on His promise, not the flames. He'll either bring you out or be with you through it. HE IS WITH US🙏🏼

DEMENTIA 

Dementia is an umbrella term for a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities, often caused by underlying diseases like Alzheimer's. 

It is not a normal part of aging, and symptoms worsen over time, impacting daily life. 

Common initial signs include memory loss and confusion, with other symptoms like difficulty with language, mood changes, and problems with judgment and coordination.  

TYPES OF DEMENTIA 

Alzheimer's disease:

The most common type, responsible for 60% to 80% of cases. 

Vascular dementia: Caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, often following a stroke.

Lewy body dementia: 

Characterized by protein deposits in brain cells that disrupt chemical signals. 

Frontotemporal dementia:

Affects the front and side areas of the brain, leading to changes in personality, behavior, and language. 

Parkinson's disease dementia:

A progressive dementia that can occur in people with advanced Parkinson's disease. 

Symptoms

Memory loss that disrupts daily life

Difficulty with problem-solving or planning

Trouble completing familiar tasks

Confusion with time or place

Changes in mood, personality, or behavior

 MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT 

There is no known cure for most types of dementia, but treatments can help manage symptoms.

Medical and psychiatric professionals manage symptoms through various approaches, including medication for certain types and stages.

The focus is often on supportive care and addressing risk factors, such as managing blood pressure, depression, and physical activity.

Early diagnosis is important for effective management and future planning. 

IMPORTANT TO KNOW 

Dementia is a progressive condition that gets worse over time. 

It is not a normal part of aging, though it is more common in older adults.

Risk factors for dementia include a history of smoking, high blood pressure, depression, and social isolation.

Ignorance of God's Ways: The Implications

Ignorance of God's Ways: The Implications

Daily teaching   December 06, 2025

 DAILY DEVOTIONS MCZ MISSION DEPARTMENT

Hosea 4:6

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

Hosea was a prophet sent to warn Israel during a time of spiritual decay.

The priests and people had abandoned God’s Word and embraced sin.

God says: “My people are destroyed — not because of enemies, but because of lack of knowledge.”

Not just education or information  but the knowledge of God.

Proverbs 1:7 — “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”

When people reject God’s Word, truth fades, and destruction follows.

The verse continues:“Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you.”

Ignorance of God’s ways leads to:

Moral collapse,

Broken families,

Spiritual blindness and

Loss of divine protection.

Many today are perishing in sin, fear, poverty, and confusion — not because God has failed, but because His people have neglected His Word.

Churches must teach sound doctrine. Christians must read, study, and live the Word of God.

2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to show yourself approved unto God… rightly dividing the word of truth.- John 8:32 — “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Freedom, victory, and life comes through knowing God and His truth.Are you perishing in areas of your life because of lack of knowledge? Return to God’s Word. Seek His truth. Let your life be built on His wisdom.
